This was the first time she called him since the divorce!
He wondered what it was about.
"Jayden is at my place. Please take him back, President Flint." Sydney looked at the teenager sitting on her doorstep and felt a headache.
Julien's eyebrows knitted. "Jayden is at your place again?"
"Yes. I can't get rid of him."
"Alright, I'm coming over," Julien replied.
Sydney had nothing more to say to him and simply hung up the phone.
Julien looked at the screen that had jumped back to the menu and pursed his lips. Then, he got up and walked toward the office door.
About half an hour later, he arrived at the door of Sydney's apartment.
"Julien!" Jayden was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Julien. He hurriedly stood up from the ground. "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to take you back," Julien glanced at the door of the apartment behind Jayden and said in a low voice.
Jayden did not dare to disobey him and drooped his head. "How did you know I was here?"
Julien did not answer him and went up to knock on the door.
The door soon opened, and Sydney stood leaning against the shoe cabinet with a crutch under her arm.
An imperceptible trace of concern flashed in Julien's eyes when he saw her like this, and his voice softened greatly. "How’s your foot?"
"Not bad. It's not broken!" Sydney responded indifferently.
Jayden looked at her and then at Julien. "Bro, you don't seem surprised by her foot at all. Did you already know she was injured?"
Julien continued to ignore him and looked at Sydney for a moment of silence. "I'll have someone send some tonic later."
"No thanks." Sydney refused bluntly.
Julien's face was flat. "Sydney Raines, can you not be so stubborn?"
"I'm stubborn?" Sydney was infuriated at his words." I'm stubborn because I don't want your tonic? What kind of reasoning is that?"
"I told you. Your foot got injured in my hotel, so I have to take responsibility," Julien said in a low voice.
Sydney waved her hand. "I don't need you to take responsibility. I just want to stay far, far away from you. Also, aren't you afraid that Ms. Madden will be unhappy if she knows you're insisting on taking responsibility like this? I don't want to be harmed by Ms. Madden again and end up with injuries all over my body."
"She won't do that." Julien frowned, his tone a little unhappy.
Lyra already promised him that she would not do such things again.
Sydney chuckled dryly. "Since you're so sure, then good for you. Alright, it's getting late and I want to rest. Goodbye."
She made a gesture, signaling that they could leave now.
Julien looked at her intently for a moment before taking Jayden and leaving.
Suddenly, Sydney called out to them again, "Wait."
Julien's heart was inexplicably happy, but he did not show it on the surface when he turned around. "Do you need anything?"
Sydney pointed to Jayden. "President Flint, please keep an eye on your brother in the future. Don't come to me and bother me, and don't cause trouble for me."
Jayden responded unhappily, "I'm not causing trouble for you." "Oh? Aren't you?" Sydney cocked her head. "If I call
Ms. Wilkins right now and tell her you're at my place, do you believe that she'll immediately run over and scold me for seducing her son?"
"I..." Jayden's throat choked as he suddenly ran out of words. His youthful and handsome face turned red.
He could not deny it.
That was because his mother would do that.
"So, don't come back in the future. I've already been more than benevolent by helping you twice. What I want most now is to completely cut ties with your family. Understand?"
Sydney's gaze swept indifferently over Jayden and finally settled on Julien's face. Two seconds later, she withdrew her gaze without hesitation and closed the door behind her.
